Is there a way to put text in an HTML file but only have selected text displayed? In place of an application's scroll window, I want to put in an HTML windowmore than likely it will be Microsoft's Web browser ActiveX control. This window is used to display messages to the user, which are currently kept in a text file with ID numbers and [ ] to delineate the messages. I want to put these in one HTML file but display them as I do with the text file. Will I still need to parse the file, or is there a way to make each message a link or something?

I am having trouble getting an ASP page to look the same in Internet Explorer and Netscape. I am using multiple tables because I have different sections to place input fields and drop-down lists on the page. I want to have a straight vertical line down the page with the fields. If I get them to line up in IE and then view the page in Netscape they are not lined up. Can you tell me if it is possible to get the same look in Netscape as IE using the tables? I have tried using width, and so forth. Here's an example:
table
tr
td field1 /td
td field2 /td
/tr
/table
table
tr
td field3 /td
td field4 /td
tr
/table
field1
field3
field2
field4

I wrote JavaScript code that displays different text depending on the radio button clicked. I used innerHTML to display text, which works fine on Internet Explorer 5 but not on Netscape 4.6. What should I do?

Designing with JavaScript by Nick Heinle talks about using Internet Explorer's Object tags for simple data binding of CDV databases. Is there a Netscape Embed tag (or other equivalent) that accomplishes the same thing? If not, is there any other way to do cross-browser data binding using JavaScript?

How do I replicate the pasteHTML function supported by Internet Explorer in Netscape? Rewriting the layer isn't the problem. The problem is determining the position of the text returned by the getSelection(). For example, how would I allow a user to select a piece of text on the screen and modify it (i.e. make it bold)? If the selected word appears more than once in the text, I can't just find() it.

The term "real time" has become a buzzword, as in "real time stock quotes" or "real time database queries". However, neither a database-oriented system nor a NYSE stock ticker running on your desktop ...

I am using the eventObj.x and eventObj.y to obtain the position of a link when the mouse is over it to determine where to show a help text box. In Netscape and Internet Explorer 4, the eventObj.y returns the number of pixels the object is from the top of the page. Therefore, if it were 50 pixels from the top, it stayed consistent no matter where I scrolled to on the page.
But in IE5, it was not working, so I used the alert box to return the value when the mouse moved over the object. If I scrolled on the page so the link object was at the top edge of the visible window, then it returned a low number (2, 3, and so on). If I scrolled down, the number increased. So the position where the text help box appeared changed depending on where the window was scrolled to, instead of appearing next to the link each time.
Is this a flaw in IE5, or does IE5 have another way to determine the x and y position relative to the page? In other words, in IE5, it appears that eventObj.y returns the number of pixels that the link is from the top of the visible window, not of the Web page itself.

I am trying to use document.writeln to write a table onto a floating menu bar. Part of the table cell's events is Java code. When it reaches the semicolons in the code for the table, it thinks it is the end of the line. How can I pass semicolons in document.writeln so JavaScript knows it's not at the end?
document.writeln ('

Is there a way to refresh or redraw part of a screen display using HTML and JavaScript without using frames? I want the top 1/4 of my screen to display constant information and have the bottom 3/4 of the screen be the user-input section, which will refresh or reset the input boxes when all of the displayed boxes have been filled in.
